Folsom Luck Club Case Analysis

Improved Essays
I’m Roger Gaylord! I'm committed to ending Folsom's political oligarchy and outside influences funding the same candidates every election. Folsom's an AMAZING city, but we’re not on course to remain the city we all love, a city truly “Distinctive by Nature” instead; we’re shifting to a city “Distinctive by Development”

We're in jeopardy of losing the defining characteristics that make us such a beautiful place to live. Unbeknownst to many, outside influences have crept into Folsom politics, affecting crucial decisions. These influences fund a “political in-crowd” that needs to be broken up. Residential development has taken a step towards benefiting the developers & not the residents. I’m committed to working with existing leaders to energize

    Yet, even if everyone has the same agenda, different proposals to implement might hinder any form of policy from coming to fruition. Then, some issues don’t even make it to the agenda. This is especially true in recent years where due to the extremes now held by the two highest parties, very liberal democrats and extremely conservative republicans, and how they happen to control the US House (GOP) and the Senate (Democrat), productivity is, in fact, at an all-time low (Scott, 2014) .

    In 1994, President Bill Clinton introduced the National Homeownership Strategy (NHS) with the goal of raising homeownership to an all time high. Again, the conversation continued to be about the benefits of homeownership, not the ever-present, significant risks. The NHS attempted to create 8 million new homeowners while helping low-income families and minorities that had previously been left behind in the government’s efforts to increase homeownership. The NHS proposal outlines three primary methods by which it would accomplish that goal: Encouraging the construction of low-cost housing, targeting “underserved” communities, and reducing down payment requirements (National Homeownership Strategy).…
